Sometimes you cant quite put how you feel into the right words, or sometimes you just need to hear things that put everything you’re feeling into perspective.

Here are some of my favourite motivation quotes from inspirational women who have known just what to say over the years.

Oprah Winfrey-

“If you look at what you have in life, you’ll always have more. If you look at what you don’t have in life, you’ll never have enough.”

Janis Joplin-

“Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. You can fill your life up with ideas and still go home lonely. All you really have that really matters are feelings. That’s what music is to me.”

Eleanor Roosevelt-

“A woman is like a tea bag – you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.”

Oprah Winfrey-

“I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.”

Maya Angelou-

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.”
